NBN rollout in Tasmania – October coverage update

The NBN (National Broadband Network) rollout in Tasmania is in full swing with coverage now available to a number of homes and businesses across the state. As the rollout continues, more and more homes will be able to take advantage of the many benefits that the network offers, including greater reliability and lightning fast internet speeds. Keen to learn more about these benefits? More information about what the NBN offers is available on the iiNet website.

Progress of the NBN rollout to date has extended coverage to parts of Hobart, Launceston and a host of other areas throughout the rest of Tasmania. In addition preparation and building of the network has commenced in a large number of new areas and access to the network will be available soon. We can let you know when the NBN will be available in your area – just register your interest. We’ll also keep you up to date with the latest NBN news and tips including installation and getting ready for the NBN.

Hi, I was just wondering at which point the NBN will be available in Richmond, Tasmania.
At this point, the cable service has not been started, or is in planning for the next five years, and the Wireless service completely avoid’s the town. Any information on this would be great.

We have the same info as what is on the official NBN rollout map.
Once it is available in your area, we will send you mail outs and emails to advise of the new technology, but at this stage, it’s best to keep checking the NBN rollout map for up to date details

The Ready for Service Date for Huntingfield, TAS has been pushed back from September this year to January 2015, then to June 2015. The fibre is in the ground. Very frustrating for those of use with businesses to run. How to plan when they keep pushing the dates back? Can the author of this blog shed any light on the situation?
